Digital BW, The Print

Hello All

I am relatively new to B&W digital printing and am trying to soak up 
as much as I can of all the information I need to make nice prints. 
I naively purchased an Epson 2200 thinking that a printer of such 
quality and expense would spit out beautiful B&W prints faster than 
I could put the paper in. The color prints are beautiful, but I want 
B&W almost exclusively. I finally discovered the QTR then the GUI 
for it and that was a great improvement but I was still using Epson 
inks. I just received a set of UT7 inks from MIS 2 days ago and have 
taken a big step backwards in quality. I am confident that it is 
either me or that I do not have the right profiles for this ink 
loaded. I see nothing in the dropdown that looks like UT ink. Is 
there such a profile? Where do I get it and how do I install it. I 
would be most grateful for any advice.

My configuration is: Win XP Pro, QTR version PC2_1b, QTR GUI  
version 2_1_5; MIS Ultratone 7 inkset (ARC_2200UT) for use with QTR; 
Epson 2200; Adobe Photoshop CS(not used for the printing); Ilford 
Smooth Pearl paper.

My prints seem not to make any difference in appearance regardless 
of the profile chosen in the dropdown. They appear to have far too 
much ink on the page. Occasionally, a half decent print will come 
out but not anywhere as nice as I was getting with the Epson inks 
and the QTR. MIS site states: Bowhaus (Mac OS9) or Quadtone Rip (Mac 
OSX or Linux PC) is required for these Ultratone cartridges. Bowhaus 
and Quadtone Rip do not work with Windows software. The QTR 
obviously works with Windows, but is there a profile for it 
available for the Ultratone inks - or am I just overlooking it? 

Thank you in advance for any advice. I have searched through the 
last month of posts and did not see anything on this exact subject.

Thanks
Bill
